Appearance - Very light Connecticut wrapper....almost transparent.
Draw - Standard easy drawing Oliva cigar :tu
Taste - creamy, smokey, slight hints of sweetness and penut butter
Ash - Flakey, gray
Smoking time - One hour, 16 minutes
Overall a very enjoyable experience. The cigar did have a little twang and a little spicey feel on the nose exhale.
Overall I'd give this cigar a 92 out of a 100 and would highly recommend this cigar to a beginner or a frequent smoker.
Thanks Oliva and Ian!! :tu

Damn those 60 degree temperatures, I would have cracked the windows with that :(
THanks for the review Scott! Sounds like it was quite an enjoyable cigar. :tu
I'm with Chippewastud, 60 would feel hot compared to the crap we have been getting. ;)
